Richard is supported by Nick on acoustic guitar and backing vocals, Thiago on saxophone and backing vocals, and Edu on drums and backing vocals. All four band members are able to roam - even Edu on drums! And Nick and Richard can switch to their electric guitars for an evening high-energy party performance. A common thread between all of these musicians is that they all began singing and playing music from before they even started school with encouragement from their parents and families. They are largely self-taught, certainly in the beginning, having then enhanced their skills with private lessons, with some going on to study music courses in further education at the Academy of Contemporary Music, University of Southampton, ICMP (London Music College), and Kingston University. Having been active in the music scene for some time now, they are all established musicians each having their own achievements in different corners of the music industry, for example with their music in movies; having toured 4 different continents and more than 17 countries; been on BBC Radio; been awarded the Daily Echo Curtain Call award for musical direction on a Sweeney Todd theatre production; become established Spotify artists; having a successful youtube music lesson channel with 1.6 million views; and having worked with the likes of James Bourne (of Busted); and performed or supported many artists like Bad Religion, Sublime, Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake. 

Richard’s confident vocal soars with each song from the band’s 300 song repertoire. Their favourite genres are acoustic-folk, pop, and rock, however, they’ve plenty of Britrock, classic rock, rock n roll, 60s, disco, soul, 80s, 90s, festive, Latin/jazz/swing, and even a touch of metal too. 

Fox & The Hounds welcome you to tailor the setlist for your big event. For a standard 2x60 mins or 3x40mins performance you can select up to 32 songs from the band’s 300 song repertoire, and the band will endeavour to accommodate all of your requests, given a month’s notice. For short notice bookings, you are still very welcome to send over your suggestions, and as always, the band will do their utmost to accommodate as many requests as possible. Fox & The Hounds is also very happy to learn an ‘off the menu’ song request for you, for example, a first dance or your favourite song. 

Upon booking, you will have a dedicated band manager as your point of contact to ensure the band is 100% on the same page as you well in advance of your event. Having this point of contact means you can count on excellent, fast, friendly, and warm communication at all times. It also means that come the big day every single crease will be ironed out and it will mean smooth sailing for both client and band alike. 

All in all, Fox & The Hounds are a very friendly and flexible bunch and take great pride in providing excellent musicianship and creating a really fun atmosphere wherever they go. The band has a big long list of songs spanning different genres and decades for you to pick from and can play complimentary playlist music (which you are welcome to tailor) before, in-between, and after live sets until curfew. The band can be on-site for up to 7 hours, or until midnight as standard. They are happy to accommodate early arrivals before 5pm and late stays after midnight if needed too. For a roaming set the band does not bring PA and lighting, as it is not needed, however, if you would like to book them for an evening electric set they will be more than happy to bring a full PA and lighting rig with them, so all you need to do is book the band and you can tick the entertainment off your to-do list in one fell swoop because Fox & The Hounds will have you covered. 

If you've any questions about the band and what they offer please don't hesitate, we’ll be more than happy to help.
